I'm sorry, but your argument is not fact based. Healthcare spending is twice as much as other developed countries with universal healthcare, 30 million are uninsured and worse outcomes (+ life expectancy dropping in the US). The projected cost of Medicare for all is $32 trillion while status quo healthcare system is projected at $48 trillion in 10 years. So, no you won't get a cheaper/better plan on private marketplace unless you're making $300,000/year. (50% of Americans make less than $30,000 and 70% live paycheck to paycheck).
How do you pay for 17 year+ invasion of foreign countries? How do you pay for the tax cuts for the mega wealthy?
You're running on the assumption that everything is fine and dandy and that the economic system is fair and everyone is getting paid for the value of their work and general public is not getting screwed every which way 10 times to Sunday by the big business!
While Amazon pays $0 in taxes (they made $11.6 billion) and Walmart full time employees need food stamps to survive (government subsidizes Walmart profit margins with our taxes) you argue against taxing the rich and having social safety net programs which will ensure a level playing field for all (not only elites), peace of mind, economic security, healthier society... In favor a future of modern day slavery and our elderly working in their 70s?
It's not free stuff, it's a different set of priorities than many conservatives adhere to. If you're a millionaire it makes sense. Bernie wants a country where people are healthy, have a roof over their heads, can afford a dignified living, less stressed, more empathetic to living conditions of the citizens, not multinational businesses.
You're being a useful idiot if you see this broken economic system and oppose changing it. I'm sure Kock brothers are very pleased to have other do their propaganda for free!

So, how libertarian are you?
We leave military, police, fire department and the rest of government responsibilities to the free market? Where do you draw the line?
You Know that deregulation and corporate greed caused the great recession, right?
I think libertarian ideas mostly sound good in theory, but in real world, you'd wise to keep them at Bay for the most part. It'll be wild wild west and a modern day jungle and realization of social Darwinism!
Governments are not inherently disfunctional and incompetent. It's the choices of the electorate in democracies and luck of the draw in dictatorships.
In America's case it's the proliferation of special interest money that is actively trying to weaken the regulations and government provided services, while getting the favorable policies and tax cuts they desire to the detriment of the public.
Daddy Trump selected people that oppose certain government agencies to lead those very agencies! What do you is going to happen? Failure of that particular agencies at delivering services that the public receives, thus sowing further discontent against said agencies and the government as whole.
Next step is use those experiences to oppose any taxes and support tax cuts and further weaken the social programs and government agencies (besides military, because it largely furthers the interest of the corporations and the empire).
This cycle continues as war budget bloats and domestic affairs are left to fester and rot.
How can anyone in this country advocate for any war to save American lives, while 30-40,000 Americans die from lack of healthcare! How can one be pro-life and not advocate for care for the sick Among us??
A fraction of the spending on the war in Iraq can literally save thousands of American lives.
Our priorities are F-ed as a nation and US empire will fall just like Rome!
